This week we are continuing our discussion of our book club pick for June, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (AKA The Bloggess). Before we get to the discussion questions for this week, there is some news about the book club that I need to share.

The GeekMom Book Club will be taking the month of July off and will be returning in August with a brand new format. I can tell you that we will be readingA Wrinkle In Timeby Madeleine L’Engle, which is one of my favorite books. I hope that everyone will come back to have a great discussion of this classic in August.

But now on to our questions for this week:

Jenny talks about how her hometown changed over the years after she had gotten married and moved away. She comes to the realization that home is wherever Victor is. What is home for you? Is it a place or is it being with loved ones?

Making friends as an adult can be hard, but the internet makes it a little easier to find friends with similar interests. Jenny finds some great girlfriends through a blogger retreat to Napa Valley but she first made contact via the internet. Has the internet helped you find friends?

We are continuing reading our book club pick for June, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (AKA The Bloggess). If you are just starting out with this book, you can start out with the questions from week one.

I pose the following questions for this week:

After Jenkins the turkey wrecked havoc at Jenny’s school, she decided to stop trying to fit in and just tried to be herself. Did you try to fit in at school or did you march to the beat of your own drummer? Was there any point that you stopped trying to fit in?

Victor tried his best to have an unique marriage proposal but it didn’t turn out quite the way he thought it would. Do you know of any unique marriage proposals that didn’t go as planned?
